Book Description
On January 12, 2004, the Queen Mary 2 inaugurated a new age in transatlantic cruising. This majestic ship-1,100 feet long, as tall as a 23-floor building, and weighing 160,000 tons-is the largest transatlantic liner ever built. Commissioned by the long-established and prestigious shipowner Cunard, the cruiser combines the classic Art Deco features of great liners from the past (the streamlined profile of the Normandy, the rounded facade and staggered back deck of the first Queen Mary) with the most technologically advanced and environmentally friendly features available today.
In this beautiful volume of photographs, marine photographer Philip Plisson documents the building and inaugural voyage of the ship, from the cutting of the first sheet-iron plate in January 2002 to the Southampton-New York crossing two years later. More than 300 photographs are accompanied by an informative text that describes the design, construction, and mission of the Queen Mary 2, as well as the history of Cunard. This inside look at an extraordinary accomplishment in luxury transportation will have great appeal for all those interested in travel, transportation, and high-end design. AUTHOR BIO: Philip Plisson is a highly acclaimed marine photographer who in 1990 was admitted into the exclusive and historic group Peintres de la Marine (Official Painters of the French Navy). He has published 26 books in the past ten years, including Abrams' The Sea/Day by Day, The Sea: Exploring Life on an Ocean Planet, and The Sea. Gwen-Haël Denigot is a freelance journalist specializing in subjects relating to the sea. She is a regular contributor to science magazines.

Hail to the new queen!.......2005-08-15
The book capturing the birth of the Queen Mary II is awesome. The photography and narrative, as well as, the construction technique of the world's newest transatlantic liner are incredible. It is amazing to realize that the Titanic with a capacity of almost as many passengers and crew is less than one third the size of the QM2.
A must for ocean liner fans!.......2004-12-28
This book is beautiful! Amazing photographs of this giant of ships, from the begining through the first voyage.
Book Description
This story of a middle-aged woman’s odyssey down the Mississippi River is a funny, beautifully written, and poignant tale of a journey that transforms a life
In fall 2005 acclaimed travel writer Mary Morris set off down the Mississippi in a battered old houseboat called the River Queen, with two river rats named Tom and Jerry—and a rat terrier, named Samantha Jean, who hated her. It was a time of emotional turmoil for Morris. Her father had just died; her daughter was leaving home; life was changing all around her. It was then she decided to return to the Midwest where she was from, to the river she remembered, where her father had played jazz piano in tiny towns.
Morris describes living like a pirate and surviving a tornado. Because of Katrina, oil prices, and drought, the river was often empty—a ghost river—and Morris experienced it as Joliet and Marquette had four hundred years earlier. As she learned to pilot her beloved River Queen without running aground and made peace with Samantha Jean, Morris got her groove back, reconnecting to her past. More important, she came away with her best book, a bittersweet travel tale told in the very real voice of a smart, sad, funny, gutsy, and absolutely appealing woman.

Great Read!.......2007-10-14
Although I had heard of Mary Morris, I had never read any of her books. The River Queen is excellent, and her other books are now on my "to read" list.
The author decides to travel down part of the Mississippi on a houseboat, and she takes us on the ride with her. It is interesting (and humourous) to learn about the Mississippi river, and all the small towns and characters she meets along the way. The book is also about her father, who passed away at the age of 102.
Ms. Morris manages to intertwine, very successfully, the story of the river and of her father.
The personality of the two men (and a dog) that she hires to take her down the river really adds to the appeal of the book. I wish there would have been photographs!
A very Funny Read...........2007-07-19
I never meant to purchase this book. I was browsing at a local bookstore, knew the author's work from "Nothing to Declare," and sat down with it in a big stuffed chair on a cloudy Saturday afternoon. I did not get up for another two hours! There are several themes running through this book. One is that of life's options narrowing, given that the author's own perch is that of, shall we say, post-middle age. Another theme is of life's opportunities having been fully seized on, even if not all of the efforts described by Morris actually panned out. A third theme is an empathetic one, as Morris contextualizes her own personal ups and downs within the tragically human setting of post-Hurriane Katrina. For me, it is the fourth theme that made this book such a fun and compelling read: parts of it are an absolute riot. Morris is superb at using dry humor and tongue-in-cheek narrative to tell her own stroy through the lens of her reactions to others. I have given the book as a summer reading gift to at least five friends. I highly recommend it.
Fascinating journey at the end fails to deliver........2007-06-11
The River Queen by Mary Morris is the tale of the author's journey to find something of her father as she boats down the Mississippi from northern Wisconsin to northern Kentucky. Morris' father passed away at the age of 102, but left unanswered questions about his childhood and his life. She decides to try and discover what it was about the Mississippi River that so caputred his imagination as a young man. She hires a houseboat, not quite the sparkling white, new model she was expecting, and two eccentric men to captain it down the river. Tom and Jerry (honest, that's their names) come with their own stories about the river (and Tom also brings along his dog Samantha Jean who he refers to as his spouse). Morris does an excellent job of mixing the story of her trek down the river with stories about her family as well as historical tidbits about the river and its denizens, making for a meandering tale that imitates the river itself. Some of her sidetracking includes intriguing people, like Bix Beiderbecke, who I found myself listening to last night. Morris, who is grieving the loss of her father and empty nest syndrome as her only daughter leaves for college, battles mayflies, tough memories and the differences between men and women with aplomb, but when it comes time to actually investigating her father's stories, only once in Hannibal, does she dig into them. Often when the time comes, she passes them by with small comment or observes as one of her shipmates does it for her. This is a fascinating tale of a woman's journey out of grief, but it would have been more compelling if she had spent more time looking for the long lost island and less time attacking tourist trap Hannibal, MO. Due to Hurricane Katrina, Morris is unable to fulfill her desire to travel the river to its end, and it feels like her journey ends without completion of either desire.
Deep, wide and luxurious.......2007-05-18
I was reading Huck Finn to my 12-year-old son when Mary Morris's The River Queen appeared -- a wonderful coincidence. So many ways to praise Morris's book -- of course, as ever, she is the consummate story teller, with impeccable timing, perfect pitch and seemingly effortless comic flair. But even aside from that, the larger tale of return, grief, loss, recovery, grace -- it all pieces together so damn beautifully. I'm enormously grateful for the pleasure of the ride and the read.
The River Queen.......2007-05-13
I found this book to be enjoyable and an easy read. It is a book that will meander through your senses.

Hail, Holy Queen: The Mother of God in the Word of God is theologian Scott Hahn's follow-up to his bestselling The Lamb's Supper. Like the previous book, Hail, Holy Queen melds autobiographical reflections, scriptural interpretation, and historical anecdotes in an accessible style to clarify some sophisticated points of Catholic theology. From the book's first sentence ("For all my newfound piety, I was still fifteen years old, and all too conscious of 'cool'"), the author's assured voice will capture the reader's interest. Readers outside Catholicism who are mystified by the centrality of Mary in Catholic devotion, and Catholics who wish to become more knowledgeable and reflective about a central aspect of their faith, will be especially drawn to Hail, Holy Queen. Among the book's most interesting claims is Hahn's contention that Marian devotion has shaped common ideas about motherhood. Hahn's teenage consciousness of cool made him ashamed of his mother. That kind of shame, he argues, helps to shape many Christians' ideas about Mary. And yet, citing John's Gospel, Hahn writes, "As He hung dying on the cross, in His last will and testament, Jesus left us a mother." Hail, Holy Queen charts a course from shame to respect and love. --Michael Joseph Gross
Book Description
A fresh and enlightening new perspective on Mary, Mother of God, and her central importance in the Christian faith, from the author of the highly successful
The Lamb's Supper.
In
The Lamb's Supper, Catholic scholar and apologist Scott Hahn explored the relationship between the Book of Revelation and the Roman Catholic Mass, deftly clarifying the most subtle of theological points with analogies and anecdotes from everyday life. In
Hail, Holy Queen, he employs the same accessible, entertaining style to demonstrate Mary's essential role in Christianity's redemptive message.
Most Christians know that the life of Jesus is foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament. Through a close examination of the Bible, as well as the work of both Catholic and Protestant scholars and clergy, Hahn brings to light the small but significant details showing that just as Jesus is the "New Adam," so Mary is the "New Eve." He unveils the Marian mystery at the heart of the Book of Revelation and reveals how it is foretold in the very first pages of the Book of Genesis and in the story of King David's monarchy, which speaks of a privileged place for the mother of the king.
Building on these scriptural and historical foundations, Hahn presents a new look at the Marian doctrines: Her Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption, and Coronation. As he guides modern-day readers through passages filled with mysteries and poetry, Hahn helps them rediscover the ancient art and science of reading the Scriptures and gain a more profound understanding of their truthfulness and relevance to faith and the practice of religion in the contemporary world.

Blessed by all generations.......2007-04-26
A heartfelt and thorough introduction to the Roman Catholic doctrines surrounding Mary. Dr. Hahn once again shares his heart with passion and convincing detail. A wonderful introduction to the Catholic wishing to enhance their worship (of God, not Mary, as some would contend) and a compelling challenge to Protestants who would challenge the Roman Catholic views. A well-organized apologetic by the former Presbyterian teaching elder.
Excellent incite and perspective........2007-01-19
Dr Hahn provides an indepth unique look into the views of Our Lady.
I thoroughly enjoyed it! I would recommend this book to anyone looking
to improve upon their relationship with Christ, through His Mother.
OK for beginners.......2006-11-26
This book does well as an intro for people who know little about the tradition out of which Mariology emerged. If Mr Hahn wanted to share his scholarly insights with readers, however, the book (at least this edition) has little reference material...He tried to put his footnotes in the back of the book, but oddly enough, they correspond to no numbers in the actual text. Likewise, the few references he does cite have no corresponding numbers in the back of the book, (for example, he is missing numbers 45-51 and numbers 68-79 in his notes).It is one of the most mysterious "citation of references" I have ever read. He would have done better to just drop the source material altogether, and just presume we believe that all of his citations are correct, as so many other pastoral books do...For those who want a deeper read, it fails pretty badly.
Mary in the Word.......2006-11-24
In his book Hail, Holy Queen, popular Catholic apologist Scott Hahn has given a passionate and interesting defense of the Catholic doctrines concerning Mary. The most interesting facet of this book is that he seeks to make the defense a Scriptural one. It is assumed by most Protestants (and quite a few Catholics as well) that the Catholic Church's positions on Mary are strictly from tradition and have no basic in the Bible. Hahn seeks to counter this impression by developing the basis for Marian dogmas as they exist (albeit in seminal form) in the Holy Scriptures.
Through a series of sections on most Catholic positions on Mary, Hahn makes accessible the Scriptural arguments of Church Fathers and later Catholic theologians on such topics as Mary as Theotokos, as Second Eve, as Ark of the Covenant, etc. Hahn writes in a folksy style that can sometimes be overdone but this tendency is put on a short leash here. He writes with obvious enthusiasm as one who as a Protestant viewed Marian devotion as bordering on idolatry but now sees in Mary a spiritual mother who in all things points to her son.
However, Hahn's arguments from Holy Scripture are unlikely to convince many Protestants who vehemently object to Marian devotion. He, like many Church Fathers, relies heavily on a typological basis for exegesis that is at odds with the post-Enlightenment form of the historical-critical method that is used by Protestant exegetes. His arguments would fail to hold water in their eyes but then their form of argumentation has little support with the Apostles or Fathers. It is in the foundational methodologies used that the positions on both sides of the question are fixed.
Yet for those with an appreciation for the historic faith of the Church, Hahn provides some food for thought even when his arguments seem to read too much into the text. He does at times seem to reach but never attempts to beat the reader over the head with his position and does acknowledge competing interpretations. Overall the book is defintely worth reading if only to realixe that Mary is a much more important character than many would like to acknowledge.
Hail Holy Queen.......2006-11-07
Good exegesis and theological aruguments for the Church's teachings about the Blessed Virgin Mary. A little slow reading at times, but it is well worth the read.
Book Description
As Henry VIII's only child, the future seemed golden for Princess Mary. She was the daughter of Henry's first queen, Katharine of Aragon, and was heir presumptive to the throne of England. Red-haired like her father, she was also intelligent and deeply religious like her staunchly Catholic mother. But her father's ill-fated love for Anne Boleyn would shatter Mary's life forever. The father who had once adored her was now intent on having a male heir at all costs. He divorced her mother and, at the age of twelve, Mary was banished from her father’s presence, stripped of her royal title, and replaced by his other children--first Elizabeth, then Edward. Worst of all, she never saw her beloved mother again; Katharine was exiled too, and died soon after. Lonely and miserable, Mary turned for comfort to the religion that had sustained her mother.
In a stroke of fate, however, Henry's much-longed-for son died in his teens, leaving Mary the legitimate heir to the throne. It was, she felt, a sign from God--proof that England should return to the Catholic Church. Swayed by fanatical advisors and her own religious fervor, Mary made horrific examples of those who failed to embrace the Church, earning her the immortal nickname "Bloody Mary." She was married only once, to her Spanish cousin Philip II--a loveless and childless marriage that brought her to the edge of madness.

The surprising heartbreak of Bloody Mary.......2007-07-14
Princess Mary is born the beloved daughter of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon. But, when her mother can no longer bear children, Mary's life is thrust into turmoil as she is declared illegimate. As she grows to adulthood, she only wishes to bring Catholicism back to England and to marry and be a mother.
This is a heartbreaking story of a woman who has been vilified by history. This makes Mary human, something for which Jean Plaidy has a great talent.
Shadow of the Crown.......2005-08-26
A page in history that fills in many blanks. The thoughts and motives of a defective but well meaning royal personage who truly is not sure who she is. A product of her time.
Queen Mary I in Jean Plaidy's novel.......2005-02-15
Jean Plaidy gives us a personal look into the life of one of England's most notorious monarchs. Queen Mary Tudor also known as Bloody Mary. If you are looking for an easy read about British royalty then this book might interest you. The book is told through Mary while she is looking back at her life as she is near death. In the coming pages she will tell of a life that was full of hardships and plagued fear and uncertainty.
In order for the reader to understand her point of view and the very root of all of her trials to come in her life, she begins with her birth. Mary's arrival into this world, while joyous, was tainted with disappointment since King Henry IIIV desperately desired a male heir to the throne. As she grew, Mary realized that her life would be plagued by this disappointment that she was unable to amend. However she found favor with her father early on and describes her early child hood as being full of wonderful memories and joy. Yet as her mother's inability to have more children became apparent so did the disappointment and frustration of her father. She soon became aware of the determination and cold-hearted nature of her father as her divorced her mother, Katherine of Aragon, in order to marry Anne Boleyn and produce a son. From then on her life took a drastic turn as her father banished her from court, declared her an illegitimate child, and even went as far as taking away her title as princess upon the birth of Elizabeth. Now Mary lived as the bastard child of the king and in a constant state of uncertainty and distress. She was unable to live with her mother for fear of revolt and was seen as a threat to the king and his plans. As a consequence of divorcing his wife, King Henry IIIV also broke away from the Catholic Church of Rome and established the Church of England of which he himself was the head. As a devout Catholic, Mary found this irreprehensible and after her mother's death, made it her life's sole purpose to end this new religion and bring her beloved country back to Rome and the Catholic Church. However this seemed almost impossible as Henry IIIV and his third wife Jane Seymour gave birth to a son, Edward. His birth signified a drastic hindrance as it moved her further down in the line of succession and favor. Her fervor and devotion towards her beloved Catholic faith grew, as did her determination. Throughout this time Plaidy introduces the reader to many important people in Mary's life such as the Countess and the Spanish ambassador that are a source of comfort and support during the trials of her life. This gives a personal aspect to the story and allows the reader to see Mary as a fully relational being whom values family and loyalty as essentials in her life. However she finds that her positions as a potential successor to the throne puts all those close to her under the scrutiny of her father and his council. Through this Mary learns the harsh realities in the world of politics and how little an individual life means to the monarch when it threatens his power.
The death of her father brought a glimmer of hope that was brought to fruition through the death of Edward. Finally her dream of becoming Queen of England was realized and she could begin her work of restoring Catholicism to England. Unfortunately it des not bring the happiness that she so desperately desires. However under the influences of her council and blinded by her religious fervor, Mary began a reign of intolerance towards the Protestant faith. This intolerance led to the horrific deaths of many in her country thus giving her the name Bloody Mary. This loss of public support combined with a loveless and most importantly childless marriage brings Mary to the depths to despair.
Plaidy paints Queen Mary Tudor as a victim of cruel circumstances and as a person who should be pitied by writing the book through Mary's eyes. The book also recounts the life of Henry IIIV as he goes through numerous wives and desperately attempts to produce a legitimate male heir to the throne. Plaidy creates a book that is entertaining and interesting to read for those who are interested in a recreational story of the British monarch. However I found that while her sympathetic take on the life of Queen Mary held my attention the book was a bit too simple in its presentation and style of writing. If you are looking for a riveting novel holding tightly to the actual history then this would not be a book for you, but if you desires of purely for entertainment then you will enjoy The Tudor Queens: In the Shadow of the Crown by Jean Plaidy.
Mary Tudor.......2004-01-03
When you think of Bloody Mary, one would think of a horrible monster. No one knows how truly horrible her life had really been.
Mary was brought up as the heir to the thrown of England. She enjoyed her lessons, loved her mother, and idolized her father, King Henry VIII. She had a perfect life. Being a Princess, she was naturally betrothed. Being a crown Princess and only legitimate offspring made her the only child to be used in political alliances. Mary liked the idea of marrying the Emperor, Charles, but that match was broken up. Mary had quite a friendship with Reginald Pole. He treated her tenderly.
But getting a husband was going to be hard because the King was seeking to get an annullment from Queen Catherine. Mary's legitmacy was in doubt. Mary's perfect life wasn't so perfect anymore. She was forbidden to see her mother and her father married Anne Boleyn. Anne Boleyn's child takes Mary's place as the heir.
This book tells about Mary's view of Henry's numerous wives, Edward's reign, Jane Grey and Philip of Spain. It shows that Mary wasn't really a bloodthirsty demon, but a pious, neglected woman who yearned for affection.
This book is wonderful and I recommend it to anyone who liked history fiction. Anyone who liked this book should read Mary, Bloody Mary by Carolyn Meyer.
BLOODY MARY..........2002-09-16
Jean Plaidy, known to her legion of fans as Victoria Holt, continues her "Queens of England" series of books with this, her sixth volume. It is a well written and engrossing work of historical fiction written as a first person narrative by Mary Tudor, daughter of King Henry VIII of England and Queen Katherine. Mary would eventually become Queen of England in her own right and leave a legacy whereby her subjects would remember her as "Bloody Mary".
As the only child of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon, the future seemed rosy for the Princess Mary. She lived a fairytale life until her father, obsessed with begetting a male heir, fell for the charms of Anne Boleyn. From that moment on, life would never be the same for Mary. Her world was torn asunder, as her father became someone whom she did not recognize. His cruelties to her and her mother, Katherine, would leave an indelible mark on her life. Divorcing her mother to marry the notorious Anne Boleyn and splitting from the Catholic Church of Rome, Henry would set England on a course that would change history. It would also serve to reinforce Mary's Catholicism, the faith of her pious, long suffering mother.
Upon the death of her father, Mary would, along with her half sister Elizabeth, daughter of Henry and Anne Boleyn, become a pawn in the political intrigues of the day in which religion would become a focal issue. When Mary became Queen after the premature death of her sickly half brother, Edward VI, son of her father, Henry, and his hapless third wife, Jane Seymour, she tried to make England return to the Catholic Church of Rome. Under the guidance of some of her advisors, she would make horrific examples of those who would fail to embrace what she viewed as the true faith, a policy that would not endear her to her subjects. This, unfortunately, would be her legacy and would, ultimately, shape the future religious identity of England.
This is an absorbing story of one woman's struggle to survive the vicissitudes of life, the feckless love of her father, the King, the political intrigues of her day, the threat of imprisonment and death, and a loveless and childless marriage to Phillip of Spain. It is the story of a woman whose road to the throne was paved with many obstacles, and her ultimate acquisition of the crown would confer little happiness upon her. It is a spellbinding account of a life lived entirely in the shadow of the crown.

Sent from her native Scotland to live in the court of her future father-in-law, King Henry II of France, young Mary, Queen of Scots, spends her time attending balls, hunting and hawking, learning Latin and fractions and music, and playing with her future husband, Francis. In Kathryn Lasky's fictionalized diary of the 11-year-old queen, readers will get a piquant taste of 16th-century life in Europe. Mary is quite aware of her role as the betrothed to France's royal family. Playing chess together one day, Francis comments to Mary, "Did it ever strike you, Mary, that we are not so much children and sons and daughters of parents as we are pieces on a gigantic chessboard called Europe? You are given to me to help checkmate England." As with the other titles in the Royal Diaries series (Elizabeth I: Red Rose of the House of Tudor, etc.), a fact-packed historical note, epilogue, paintings, and family tree provide just enough additional information to whet the appetites of readers for more about the ill-fated queen of Scotland and France. (Ages 9 to 14) --Emilie Coulter

Good FICTION book.......2006-10-19
THis book is a good read. I've found though that many books in this series are incomplete. They fail to metion any parts of their deaths. I for one don't like this. In History Mary Queen of Scots was killed by her cousin Elizabeth I of England. I also noticed that in the last grand duchess, they again failed to show why she ended up as the last grand duchess. I enjoyed reading this book. In reality, the book isn't a history lesson and shouldn't be read as such. Finally, it is an incomplete account based on a certain author's view.
Queen of Scotland, lived in France.......2005-11-07
I'm a big fan of the Royal Diaries series and own this book, which i think is very interesting. It tells you alot about the life of Mary Queen Of Scots, where she lived, ect. I acually didn't know she had lived in France before i read this book. Historicly corrrct, interesting and fun to read; this book also mentions Elizabeth I, whom a diary in this series has also been written after. I definetly recomend this book.
Mary, Queen of Scots.......2005-10-28
Alright, here is some information about the history of this family. This is not completly about this book, but scince so many people are getting their history wrong, i chose to write a review just for that reason.
Mary is the cousin of Elizabeth I of England. Mary became Queen of Scotland before she was even 2 years old, (rather odd!) but was raised in France.
Mary was a betrayer, and did not appriciate Elizabeth's kindness at all, and was plotting against her with the Spanish. Elizabeth warned Mary but she chose not to listen. Elizabeth ordered for Mary to be executed, and so it was done on February 8, 1587. She was executed.
Mary is the great - grand daughter of Henry VII. Here are some of the people she is related to:
- King Henry VIII (Son of Henry VII, Father of Elizabeth I and Mary I, married to Anne Boleyn, her Great - Uncle)
Second Cousins , Mary I, Elizabeth I, King Edward VI , Lady Jane Grey (i think), ect.
Margaret Tudor (Daughter of Henry VII, Sister of Henry VIII, her great - aunt)

That is just a small percent of the history of Mary. Thank you.

a.k.a. Skills for Life.......2007-05-13
As textbooks go, this one was amazing. Not only was it helpful for the online class, but also it was full of detailed explanations about everything from the basics of balancing a checkbook, to opening own's own retirement account, to basic stock market accounting. I found the examples helpful and the text itself enlightening. I highly recommend this book and am glad to have it in my library as a consumer reference.
Book Description
Legendary historical novelist Jean Plaidy brings to life the story of Princess Mary Tudor, a celebrated beauty and born rebel who would defy the most powerful king in Europe—her older brother.
Princess Mary Rose is the youngest sister of Henry VIII, and one of the few people whom he adores unconditionally. Known throughout Europe for her charm and good looks, Mary is the golden child of the Tudor family and is granted her every wish.
Except when it comes to marriage. Henry VIII, locked in a political showdown with France, decides to offer up his pampered baby sister to secure peace between the two mighty kingdoms. Innocent, teenage Mary must become the wife of the elderly King Louis, a toothless, ailing man in his sixties. Horrified and furious, Mary has no choice but to sail for France. There she hones her political skills, bides her time, and remains secretly in love with Charles Brandon, the Duke of Suffolk. When King Louis dies, after only two years of marriage, Mary is determined not to be sold into another unhappy union. She must act quickly; if she wants to be with the man she truly loves, she must defy the laws of church and state by marrying without her brother’s permission. Together, Mary and Charles devise a scheme to outwit the most ruthless king in Europe and gain their hearts’ desire, not knowing if it will lead to marital bliss or certain death.

A great historical fiction novel.......2007-07-08
Yet another great historical fiction book from Jean Plaidy. This one is about Mary, Queen of France (who was part of the Tudor line). Again, there is some historical fact woven in through the story. This is a fairly short read and I enjoyed every page. It's a great book and Mary really comes alive to the reader.
Another wonderful book about Henry's sisters!.......2007-06-16
I loved Plaidy's book about Margaret (The Thistle and the Rose) and was excited to read this book about Henry's younger sister. I was not disappointed. I loved the politics of royal marriage and I was so happy when she was able to marry Charles Brandon. It was a great story about Mary's journey to find love while being a princess and a pawn of her brother. I highly recommend it! I am so glad that I got to learn about her. (It is hard to find other novels about Henry's sisters.)
"I would give up all... if I could leave the court with the man I love.".......2006-12-27
Long before Henry VIII succumbs to the heady power of his long and turbulent reign, he is a virile, handsome young man on the cusp of claiming the throne from an ailing father, his best friend and jousting partner since youth the equally impressive Charles Brandon. Surrounding himself with the accoutrements of royalty and his loyal friends, Henry holds his younger sister, Mary Rose, most dear. Certainly Mary displays the Tudor arrogance and singleness of purpose, at thirteen balking at her betrothal to Charles of Castile, a boy younger than herself. Mary's life becomes all the more complicated when she falls in love with the charming Brandon, who is always at her brother's side, their attraction natural as both are young, accomplished and beautiful. But even Mary senses the danger in her infatuation with Charles Brandon; as a royal princess, she has no say in whom she is to wed.
Unfortunately, love respects no such logical restrictions; when Mary realizes Charles is equally enamored, she is determined to make him her husband, first manipulating the dissolution of her betrothal to Charles of Castile. To Mary's dismay, Henry, who has been crowned following the death of his father, has learned of the treachery of the Spanish and contracts to marry his sister to the ageing Louis XII of France, binding the countries together in alliance. As much as she begs, Henry will not be dissuaded, having recently noted Mary's attentions to Brandon. Promising to let his sister choose her next marriage partner if only she agrees to wed Louis, the die is cast, Mary sailing into the longing arms of an old man grasping at an opportunity of begetting an heir.
One of the first people to attend Mary in France is Francoise, Duc de Valois, the Dauphin in line for the throne should Louis die without issue from his new bride. Almost as alluring as the dashing Charles, Francois captures the new queen's attention; she indulges in a merry, if dangerous, flirtation while wed to Louis. As expected, Louis succumbs to age and exhaustion, leaving Mary once more in the eye of the storm, Francoise, the newly anointed King of France and Henry busy making plans for her future. Rebelling, the clever Mary cajoles Francois to her cause, secretly wedding Charles Brandon, the newlyweds returning to England to face Henry's wrath.
Throughout the novel, the strong-willed Tudor brother and sister face off in a battle of wills, Mary only belatedly learning that her beloved Henry has changed from the indulgent older sibling to unpredictable despot, she and her husband barely escaping his displeasure many times as the years pass. Meanwhile, Henry has become disillusioned with his wife, Katherine of Aragon, and her inability to provide him with a son. Bored by her piety, he seeks solace in the dark charms of Anne Boleyn. Mary is perhaps the last woman able to charm the increasingly irascible king, but even the former Queen of France quakes at his the demeanor of a man thwarted in his desire for a son. The young, exuberant Henry of memory disappears, only to be replaced by a petulant, demanding bully who will have his way no matter the cost to the women in his life, beloved sister forgotten along with all the rest.

A Delightful Gem!.......2006-11-14
Jean Plaidy has always been one of my favorite authors as a kid growing up ~~ her books have induced a love of history so it is with great pleasure to start reading her books again as an adult. I picked this one up since it's here on my shelf and it was a fast read ~~ delightful and wonderfully written. And this time, I appreciate the history more, especially since I barely remember Henry the Eighth's younger sister.
This one is on Mary Rose, the youngest sister of the Tudor King, Henry the Eighth. She is also his favorite sister and a spoiled princess. Caught up in the scheme of politics, she was arranged first to marry Charles of Castile, then after that fell through, she was arranged to marry Louis of France. By then, she was in love with Charles Brandon, the Duke of Suffolk and the king's best friend. She extracted a promise from her brother that when Louis dies, she will marry whomever she wanted. Naturally, he forgets that promise when Louis dies and despite Brandon's misgivings, they eloped, with the help of the new French king.
This is a fast-paced novel ~~ full of historical gems that I love to read about. It really is a delightful book and one with a happy ending (which seems to be rare among the Tudor Princesses!) ~~ and very well-written. It is a timeless classic book ~~ and if you're new to historical fiction, you cannot go wrong with reading Plaidy's books. This will only whet your appetite to learn more history.

A fascinating look at a little-known Tudor.......2006-07-12
Although many Tudor buffs may know who Mary Tudor is, there is surprisingly little information about her, and few literary works to describe who she is. Luckily, Jean Plaidy manages to make up for all that, with her detailed descriptions of Mary's life and her passionate determination to be with the man she loves, despite all the odds against her.
Mary is Henry's favorite sister, and all of the court knows it. He never denies her anything, and if he does, she can usually get him to change his mind. But when he offers her into a marriage to Louis VII, she cannot get him to change his mind. Mary is desperately in love with Charles Brandon, and he loves her... however, political alliance is more important to Henry than his sister being with her true love - his best friend.
This book is a wonderful, detailed read, and any person (even someone who is learning about the Tudors for the first time) will love it.
Book Description
For the first time Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles are available in the United States in quality paperback editions.
Second in the legendary Lymond Chronicles,
Queen's Play follows Frances Crawford of Lymond who has been abruptly called into the service of Mary Queen of Scots. Though she is only a little girl, the Queen is already the object of malicious intrigues that extend from her native country to the court of France. It is to France that Lymond must travel, exercising his sword hand and his agile wit while also undertaking the most unlikely of masquerades, all to make sure that his charge's royal person stays intact.

Lymond series No 2: brilliant but not for everyone.......2007-09-06
This is the second book in a series which you will either love or hate. It is also one of those multi-book series which must if at all possible be read in the right order, which is
1) The Game of Kings
2) Queen's Play
3) The Disorderly Knights
4) Pawn in Frankincense
5) The Ringed Castle
6) Checkmate
The Queen of the title is Mary Queen of Scots, a child ruler at the time of the story, with much of the action in Scotland and France relating to intrugues as to who will control the person of the young Queen.
There are two reasons why this series, and the author's similar "Niccolo" series, should be read in chronological order. The first is that the plots are incredibly complicated and if you read them out of sequence you have no chance of understanding what is going on. The second is that many of the characters meet their deaths in ways which are exceptionally unpleasant both for themselves and for the characters who survive them.
I made the mistake of reading one of the later books first. When I came to read this one, advance knowledge of how an important character in this book is going to die, and how Lymond is going to find out about it, seriously affected the pleasure I would otherwise have had in reading the passage when they meet for the first time in "Queen's Play".
Like the books, the central character, Francis Crawford of Lymond, is brilliant, violent, and extremely complicated. Unlike the books he is very flawed. Lymond is a mercenary with particular interests in Scotland and France, and gets involved in nefarious deeds all over the world as 16th century Europeans knew it. Dunnett brings the splendour, cultural ferment, and violent cruelty of the Renaissance world splendidly to life.
If you are at all squeamish, or do not like having to make your brain work overtime to follow a book, leave this series alone. Lymond's story is neither "chewing gum for the brain" nor a comfortable read. And even if you prefer flawed heroes to knights in shining armour, Lymond may infuriate you from time to time. But if you can put up with these features, these books will richly reward the effort you make in reading them.
There is no middle ground: you will either hate the Lymond series or recognise these books as one of the greatest works of historical fiction ever written. Or very possibly both !
Plodding Through.......2007-07-26
I'm almost done with book 2 of the Lymond Chronicles and so far I've realized that Lymond is moody, manic-depressive, an alcoholic and highly intelligent. I couldn't be his woman. Actually, so far he hasn't had any serious relationships with anyone, just sex with [...] and one night stands with court people that are vaguely mentioned. The relationship with Christian Stewart in book 1 was very sweet and tender but purely platonic - however I know she had his heart.
I'll keep reading and see what more I learn of him. As a character he is interesting. This particular book - book II - is not my favorite. I am only reading it in hopes (and from reading reviews) that the rest of the series is better. I don't want to miss anything by skipping this one so I am forcing my way through. The most interesting part of forcing my way through are the tidbits I pick up on his character. The plot/story line of the book is not interesting at all to me.
I enjoyed book 1 after I got about 100 pages into it and after putting it down and picking it up for a second time.
Wonderfully pleasurable and eminently educational.......2007-03-10
Utterly fascinating from cover to cover as a novel, while the research backing up even the smallest detail commands an admiration bordering on awe. It is a book that I will re-read several times.
Reviews paperback book, not content.......2005-09-01
I have heard great reviews of this author from friends, so I set out to buy one of her books. The paperback version of this book is so offensively ugly no one should buy it. The type bleeds so the letters are fuzzy, and the overall impact is negative. I haven't looked at the hardbound version, but don't buy the paperback version - get it from the library if you want to read this book. No publisher should get away with this kind of product. No author should put up with it, and no reader should buy it.
Confusing.......2002-11-25
I hate to be a spoil sport since so many comments about Dunnett have been so effusive- however, I have to be honest and admit that I just don't get it. The plot lines are very confusing and the characters are not well enough developed to identify with. In Game of Kings Lymond communicates solely by spouting erudite witticisms in various languages. Every uttered sentence is either joking, tongue in cheek or nebulous in some way. I never felt for one moment that I understood this character. In fact, there is almost a comical aspect of the larger-than-life adventures that undermines the historical accuracy. Another problem is that Dunnett uses a lexicon that is so archaic and erudite that it becomes annoying after a while. I never thought that I would ever feel this way about a book since I love a good challenging read. This is over the top! I started reading this series in the sincere hope that I would discover something as wonderful and entrancing as the Patric O'Brian novels, I have been sorely disappointed. To tell the truth, I had to stop reading Queen's Play after the first few chapters.

Cute Kids Book!.......2006-05-26
Ann Estelle has always wanted a beautiful hat for Easter covered with ribbons and flowers. Instead, her mother gets her a traditional, classic hat with only one blue ribbon. Try as she might, Ann Estelle simply cannot like the hat so she thinks nothing of leaving it on her front porch one afternoon. A few days later, her mother discovers the hat, but with a surprise. There is a robin inside! The hat turns into a beautiful Easter surprise for Ann Estelle, and she discovers that having the best Easter hat doesn't always have to do with how many ribbons or flowers adorn it.
I rarely review children's books, but picked this book up on a whim as I am a huge fan of Mary Engelbreit. I love her colorful, fun illustrations! This book was cute, had adorable pictures, and a great storyline. I read it to my 5-year-old son, and he enjoyed the story even though it was about a girl. This book is a beautiful, fun read.
Enjoy!
Book Description
Elizabeth Tudor's teenage years are hardly those of a fairy-tale princess. Her father has beheaded her mother; her jealous half sister has her locked away in the Tower of London; and her only love has betrayed her in his own quest for the throne.
Told in the voice of the young Elizabeth and ending when she is crowned queen, this is the second novel in the exciting Young Royals series.

Beware.......2007-03-15
Once her father died, no one was there to protect Elizabeth from the court and her older sister, Queen Mary. After the King of England, her father, died, her younger brother, Edward VI of age of 9, became King. Some schemes are created to change the thorn inheritance. After living through that, she becomes more aware of what she does so nothing turns up again. Edward becomes very sick and died. To understand the next event you must know that Elizabeth and Mary have never been on good terms. When Mary became Queen it became worse. The supporters of Elizabeth revolted against Queen Mary; this started the burning of the Heretics. Elizabeth was watched like a hawk until her sister's death. After that she became Queen. Beware, Princess Elizabeth is a wonderful book and worth reading.
One reason why I liked this book was because it was full of suspense. One example is when Elizabeth was investigated for the marriage against the King's order. She was kept at her home with no one but an investigator and his wife. They watched her closely and waited to be found guilty. Another is when Queen Mary sent her to the tower for the uprising of the supporters of Elizabeth. She stayed there for quit along time until she was exiled to a castle far away and left there under watch of guards. The last reason was because she didn't commit to the Catholic faith, which was against her beliefs. Because Mary was burning all the Heretics, or people who wouldn't hear Mass, Elizabeth had to be on her guard so she wouldn't be caught hearing Mass without her whole heart.
The second reason is because the author writes splendidly. One example is when she describes the places and people with all the five senses. In the book when Elizabeth takes up resident in a drafty castle all winter long. The author describes the place as drafty, smelly, cold, and run-down. Another example was when the author described Elizabeth's feelings about her step-mother's husband, who also had feelings to Elizabeth. The last example was when Elizabeth was told she is Queen. The author described Elizabeth's joy at finding the news.
The last reason why this book is so good is because of the interesting characters in this book. Although all the characters really lived, some of the things they did were different. For example, Queen Catherine, the King's last wife, had loved a man before she was forced to marry the King. After the death of the King, Catherine married this man with out waiting in respect for the dead. Another interesting character is Elizabeth's sister, Mary. Mary had a hard life when Elizabeth was little, so she was never very kind. Mary grew up on the Catholic faith and wanted England to turn to their former faith. When the people didn't do as she said, she burned them; therefore she got the name Bloody Mary. The last person is Elizabeth. Elizabeth is my favorite Queen, out of the few I've read. She had to go through many trials in her life and faced death several times. In the book, she was locked in the Tower of London and almost executed. She also lived through several pandemics and the reign of Bloody Mary. Over all I think she lived a very interesting life.
The best part about this book was all the obstacles Elizabeth had to survive. An example from the book was when her beloved brother started to become more like a tyrant to her instead of the loving brother who once loved her. Another was when Mary threw Elizabeth into the Tower of London on false accusations. Elizabeth had to be clever to out smart her sister and the court. This book is now one of my favorite books.

Great Story.......2006-11-14
Perhaps one of the most fasincating queens of all time. Hardly anyone else goes through as much as Elizabeth did on her way to being queen and
that's why she'll always be my favorite. This book goes through the death of her father she goes to live with her stepmother and new husband when Elizabeth learns important lessons when she finds herself in a scandle with her stepmother's new husband. Things get worse for her when her brother dies and Mary becomes queen following the short reign of Jane and Elizabeth knows Mary wants her dead and is constantly on guard to keep that from happening but still finds herself in the Tower. Carolyn Meyer protrays Elizabeth's fears at that point when Elizabeth surely thought she was going to die. I recommend this book for everyone who's a fan of Elizabeth I's.
SUSAN'S ONLINE REVIEW .......2006-10-25
King Henry the 8th dies leaving Edward the throne. Edward dies after 6 years of ruling. Edward leaves the throne to Jane Dudley (that's another story called 9 days a queen.) Jane knows that Mary is the rightful ruler of Englang but is forced to be queen. Most of England wanted mary as Queen so to prevent a rebellion they took the throne from Jane and gave it to Mary after nine days of rule. Mary had Jane and her husband beheaded. Elizabeth has many spies watching her every move to prevent he from causing an rebellion. Elizabeth is sent to the same tower as her mother was sent to many years ago and beheaded. will she have the same fate as her mother read the book and find out. i'm bad at writting so the book is way better than its sounds.
Great second installment, good portrayal of young Elizabeth I.......2006-04-19
Young Elizabeth Tudor goes through a great deal in her journey to become Queen of England. She is Henry VIII's second daughter, one who is pampered and well cared for when she's a child and then is ignored and shunned by her father after he has his second wife and Elizabeth's mother, Anne Boleyn, beheaded for supposedly cheating on him. He wants an heir and he achieves this with his third wife who births (and dies as a result) young Edward who will precede his father to the thrown. During all of this, Elizabeth has endured her sister Mary, who hates her for being Anne Boleyn's daughter. However, they reach some sort of truce after Henry VIII dies and Edward is crowned. But when the young king dies and Mary is crowned queen, all hell breaks loose. Mary wants Elizabeth out of the way and she does just about everything to keep her from being the next queen. There are various twists throughout the novel.
This royal family has fascinated me and I am enjoying Meyer's fictional account of these women. She portrays Elizabeth as a young woman who had to pay her dues to obtain her reign in England. The novel doesn't follow the biographical flow as much as in Mary, Bloody Mary, but a fictional account is what I look for when reading these books, and Meyer does a fine job creating a back story for these characters. The political intrigue is interesting. Mary Tudor is portrayed as a cruel, fierce queen who orders execution for things as simple as people following another religion other than her own. From reading the biographies in encyclopedias, I always got the impression that she and Elizabeth were at odds with each other, which is why it isn't surprising that this plot is centered on Mary's attempt to keep Elizabeth from taking over the reigns of England. But Elizabeth is portrayed as a fighter who won't stop until she gets her rightful place as Queen of England. I enjoyed this second installment of the Young Royals book. It is fun and entertaining as well as insightful and enlightening. I look forward to reading Anne Boleyn's story in Doomed Queen Anne.
